Autumn skies:
Sometimes, pumpkin-coloured;
Sometimes, grey.
Acting as a delicate background for long elegant leaves in high heels.
And when the sun shines,
Only delicate ballet shoes remain —
A reminder that renewal can be found in endings.
For more delicate skies, please visit: Skywatch.

It is always a pleasure to visit here, as you have a poetic mindset and see the unseen in nature, something that I love. Even Noveber holds true beauty, as can be seen in your images. Have a lovely week,
xoxo

November is a favorite month of mine. It is much more solitary and with muted color, but in that solitary bleakness that most associate with a dying, lies the hardening seeds of renewal and room being made for the next generation of life. Those photos and your words capture it beautifully.
